Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need for these eggless-flourless chocolate fudge cookies:

1 cup (200g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips – This is where the magic happens! The chocolate is the star of the show, giving the cookies that rich, fudgy texture and deep flavor.
1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar – Adds sweetness without being overpowering.
1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar – Brown sugar brings an extra layer of flavor, making the cookies taste richer and more complex.
1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter – Melted, this adds moisture and richness to the cookies.
1/4 cup (60ml) milk (dairy or plant-based) – Helps bring the dough together and adds a creamy texture.
1 tsp vanilla extract – A splash of vanilla adds depth and rounds out the chocolate flavor.
1/2 cup (50g) unsweetened cocoa powder – For that deep chocolate flavor and fudgy texture.
1/4 tsp salt – Balances out the sweetness and enhances the chocolate flavor.
1/2 tsp baking powder – This gives the cookies just the right amount of lift.
1 cup (100g) powdered sugar – For sweetness and that perfectly fudgy texture.

Why These Ingredients Matter:

Chocolate Chips: The type of chocolate you choose can impact the flavor of your cookies. Dark chocolate will give a more intense, less sweet flavor, while semi-sweet chocolate will add just the right amount of sweetness.
Butter: It helps create the rich texture of the cookies, making them soft and gooey inside.
Cocoa Powder: Unsweetened cocoa powder intensifies the chocolate flavor and gives the cookies that deep, dark color.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C): Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent the cookies from sticking and ensure they bake evenly. This is an important step for getting those perfect cookies!
Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and smooth. You can also melt the chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl over simmering water if you prefer the stovetop method.
Mix in the sugars: To the melted chocolate mixture, add both the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Stir well until everything is combined. The sugars help give the cookies that gooey texture, so make sure they’re fully dissolved.
Add the wet ingredients: Pour in the milk and vanilla extract, then stir until smooth. The milk adds creaminess, and the vanilla brings that extra layer of flavor. It’s at this point that your kitchen will start smelling amazing!
Incorporate the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. This will help to prevent any lumps in the dry ingredients, giving you a smoother dough. Gradually stir this dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until everything is well combined.
Add powdered sugar: Stir in the powdered sugar, which gives these cookies that signature fudgy consistency. The dough should be thick, glossy, and almost like brownie batter.
Scoop the dough: Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Make sure to leave a bit of space between each cookie, as they’ll spread slightly while baking. Don’t worry if they look a bit rustic; that’s part of their charm.
Bake the cookies: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for about 10-12 minutes. The edges should be set, but the centers will still look slightly soft and gooey—that’s exactly how they should look! Don’t overbake, or you’ll lose that fudgy texture.
Cool and enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This will help them firm up just a bit. Enjoy these warm, gooey cookies with a glass of milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate treat!

How to Serve

These eggless-flourless chocolate fudge cookies are so delicious on their own, but here are some ways to serve them for an extra special touch:

With a scoop of vanilla ice cream: The warm, fudgy cookie paired with cold ice cream is a dream come true.
Top with a sprinkle of sea salt: If you love that sweet-and-salty combo, a pinch of flaky sea salt on top of each cookie takes the flavor to the next level.
With a glass of milk: For a classic treat, enjoy your cookies with a cold glass of milk (dairy or plant-based).

Additional Tips

Here are five tips to ensure your eggless-flourless chocolate fudge cookies turn out perfectly every time:

Use good-quality chocolate: Since chocolate is the star of the show, using high-quality chocolate chips or chunks will make a big difference in the flavor and texture of the cookies. Go for semi-sweet or dark chocolate for the best results.
Don’t overbake: These cookies are meant to be soft and fudgy in the center, so be careful not to overbake them. If you’re unsure, it’s always better to underbake slightly than to overbake.
Let the dough rest: If you have the time, letting the dough rest for 15 minutes before baking can help the flavors develop even more, and the cookies will have an even better texture.
Make smaller cookies for a chewy bite: If you prefer chewier cookies, make your dough scoops a little smaller. Just remember to adjust the baking time slightly, as smaller cookies will bake quicker.
Cool before storing: Be sure to let the cookies cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. They’ll stay fresh for up to a week, though they’re so delicious they might not last that long!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – Eggless-Flourless Chocolate Fudge Cookies

1. Can I use regular flour instead of making these cookies flourless?

Absolutely! If you’re not concerned about keeping the cookies flourless, you can substitute the cocoa powder and skip the flourless aspect. You would want to add about 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour in place of the cocoa powder. However, the magic of this recipe lies in the flourless nature, as it helps create the ultra-fudgy, gooey texture that makes these cookies so special.

2. Can I use a different type of milk in this recipe?

Yes, you can! Feel free to use any milk you prefer—whether it’s dairy, almond, soy, oat, or coconut milk. Just keep in mind that the flavor and texture might vary slightly depending on the type of milk you use. For example, oat milk or coconut milk will add a bit of extra creaminess, while almond milk might make the cookies slightly lighter.

3. Do these cookies need to be refrigerated?

You don’t need to refrigerate the dough unless you want to. If you choose to chill it for about 15-30 minutes before baking, the cookies will spread less and have a slightly thicker texture. However, the dough can also be baked right away without refrigeration. If you have leftover cookies, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. They will stay fresh and fudgy, and the chocolate flavor will continue to develop.

Conclusion

These eggless-flourless chocolate fudge cookies are an absolute treat, offering all the indulgence of a rich chocolate dessert without the eggs or flour.
